A Chinese government delegation has been banned from attending the lying-in-state of Queen Elizabeth the Second.
House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle refused a request for access to Westminster Hall due to Chinese sanctions against five MPs and two peers.
Queen Elizabeth is set to lie in state there until her funeral on Monday September 19,2022.
Last year, China imposed travel bans and asset freezes on nine Britons – including seven parliamentarians – for accusing Beijing of mistreating Uighur Muslims.
